  1. The guy who built that blue one pops up on Counting Cars from time to time, seems like he's gotten to be friends with Danny (the owner of Count's Customs.)
  2. Seems like they're just proof that the whole phone causing a gas station to explode is just BS.
  3. I forgot, there was an orange drop top one I saw on lunch today!
  4. How about the newest from Ford, it's under the typical doors, but there is no factory installed cap, although Ford does offer a locking cap for those who are afraid their gas gets stolen and/or aren't afraid to get the smell of the fuel of their choice on their hands.....
  5. I think the store is now called J.C. Whitney's now too. I actually caught a glimpse while pulling out of the driveway the other night of a previous generation Nissan Altima that kinda looked that way, then it had one of those "adjustable" elevated wings attached to the stock spoiler that rises a few inches off the decklid. I actually sat in the driveway wondering if I actually saw it!
  6. Reminds me of some of the pulling trucks from the 80's!
  7. Wow, I'm guessing those were to clear either the frame, steering, and/or 4wd hardware?
  8. Saw what appeared to be a Gold with White stripe Olds 442 convertable last night. Nothing to seak of today.
  9. Honestly, that's the only one that bothers me, from a looks like somebody blew all their lower ball joints stance to the tires that are 2-3 inches too narrower that the rims (that just scares me to be honest.)
  10. Exactly Quick GMC, with Ford's turbo motors, and GM's and Chrysler's 3.6l V-6 engines, those cars can get up and run. I know a guy who had a 3.6l Camaro that had some engine work done and he was running well into the 13's, and it was all naturaly asperated. My Chrysler 200 Touring is factory rated for 283hp and they're usually solid 14 second cars is stock form with the cheap, tractionless factory tires, then if you look at the Camry and Accord models with the V-6, they're right there with the V-6 200's and Avenger in quarter mile times. Some wouldn't call them muscle cars, but they are mid sized cars with some pretty healthy motors in them for their size and weight and capable of trailering what some would consider a muscle car at the strip.
  11. Yes, but considering popular myth about Shaggy, he might have just had the munchies
  12. Actually, I said "doggie treat shaped kid's cracker snack"
  13. My Sister got pulled over a few times in her Silver '06 Charger SE (3.5l V-6), don't think she ever got a ticket in it though. Waiting to see on her Plum Crazy Challenger now though...........
  14. This is what I'm talking about, they really are pretty good too!
  15. Nope, kids cookies based around the "Scooby Snack" treats from the "Scooby Doo" cartoon series. They're actually pretty good too!
  16. Is it me, or does it look like a cross between a Z3/Z4 and a S2000?
  17. There was one in all black with "hyper black" rims in front of the Enterprise next to work yesterday, nice looking car.
  18. I've used those things as making material for some of my R/C bodies if I need to cover large areas that aren't getting painted and don't want to waste masking tape.
  19. I think it's one of his and Angus' nephews.
  20. The only other one is Chrysler's K-Car, I seriously wouldn't be surprised if a few.of the parts off my parent's '06 Town and Country (mainly brakes) could be bolted right up to the 4dr hatch Lebaron and Shadow turbos that I had. You get tuat some with the XJ, MJ, ZJ, and TJ Jeeps too, even some WJ parts will interchange!
  21. Almost forgot, there was a very sinister looking all black 2015 Mustang parked in front of the Enterprise Rental Car Agency by work today when I got back from lunch?!
  22. I think some of the companies would do good by adding some of the game licensing to their kits. I have a bunch of cars on Forza 4 and Horizon that would make just cool builds in scale or 1:1.
  23. My sister was babysitting her friend's 3 year old this morning and when she went to get him ready to take to his maternal grandparent's house, she told him he could have a "Scooby Snack" (a doggie treat shaped kids cracker snack licensed through Hanna-Barbara), so he comes running into the kitchen looking for them. I help him find them and next thing I know I hear a very quiet "Scooby-Doobie-Doooo!" as he runs back off to my sister's room to get ready to go to his grandparents' house. Now I'm still bent over at the kitchen counter by the cabinet the cookies were in and just lose it, I'm literally pounding on the countertop laughing my fool head off while trying to stand up at the same time. This little guy is kind of a surrogate nephew for my sister, her boyfriend, and myself, while our parents treat him almost like a grandchild, or at least a great nephew.
  24. I have seen a whole lot of women drive the SN95 Mustangs too, even the GT's, but really, any of the "slow" versions of a given generation of Mustang could be seen as girls cars. Does surprise me at the number of Women I see driving GT's as well as the Cooper versions of the Mini.
